Rocking Your Proverbial Speedo. ACIM Lesson #334.

Today I claim the gifts forgiveness gives. Brene̒ Brown loves to discuss the story we tell ourselves. In Daring Greatly (https://brenebrown.com/book/daring-greatly/), Brown tells the story of swimming with her husband. The two were swimming across a lake one morning. Brown felt glorious. She was flowing with her stroke. Cutting across the water. When she exited the water, feeling exhilarated, she moved to kiss her partner as her joy was overflowing… when he walked away. WTF

Dream a Little Dream. ACIM Lesson #333.

Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here. We live in a dream of illusion, A Course of Miracles often states. This is illustrated nicely by the movie A Beautiful Mind, as pointed out by Pema Chodron. In A Beautiful Mind the famous mathematician, John Nash, begins seeing things. His delusions talk to him. Interact with him. They even assign top secret jobs for him from the government. After a long and arduous struggle, he recognizes that one of his delusions, a young girl, n

Freedom in Forgiveness. ACIM Lesson #332.

Fear binds the world. Forgiveness sets it free. There is a Buddhist parable about a father whose son is mercilessly murdered by a rogue tribe. The father is away & when he returns he finds the charred remains of his life and home. Weeping, he is inconsolable at first. He then gathers himself and gathers a group of people to avenge the tribe. He carries around his son’s ashes as a reminder of his mission. And he returns home to grieve for his loss every night. One night as

NEW News. ACIM Lesson #331

There is no conflict, for my will is Yours. Have you turned on the news lately? Conflict with countries. Conflict between humans. Conflict with the environment. Dissention. Angst. Conflict. Conflict. Conflict. It is easy to believe that this representation of life is real. That there are no opportunities left for peace or harmony. To buy into the idea that destruction is inevitable. But I’ll tell you a secret-I don’t believe it. If I truly have free will. If I am an all-power

What is the Ego? ACIM precursor to Lessons 331-340

Oh ego! Thanksgiving just rolled around for those of us in the US. It is a time of feasting. A time of gratitude. A time of close family gatherings that can be equally tense and rewarding. We are around energies we aren’t normally. Our routines are a little different. This can become a recipe for a lot more than delicious pumpkin pie. It is a playground for the monkeys of our ego. Ego loves separation. Loves accusing. Loves judgement. It tells us that what others do is wrong

Be Kind to Yourself. ACIM Lesson #330

I will not hurt myself again today. My big bad brain loves to tell me things about myself. Sometimes they are lovely: You are smart. You are compassionate. You are kind. Sometimes not so lovely: You are incapable. You are lost. You are not enough. But lesson 330 tells me that I don’t have to attack my mind again. That I can let go of negative thoughts that hurt myself. In favor of a little gentleness with myself. The wise Pema Chodran encourages a practice in meditation of be

Be Still and Know. Sans Cursing. ACIM Lesson #329

I have already chosen what You will. Sometimes when someone cuts me off in traffic I feel….well, pretty separate. I hoot. I holler. I get angry. I even curse sometimes (okay, maybe many times). And then, on really good days. I stop. I remember what it feels like to be late. The fear. The anxiety. The wondering if I will get in trouble. The shame of not allowing myself enough time. Hmmm….. Lesson 329 is a welcome encouragement that I don’t have to feel guilty about forgetting

We're #1! ACIM Lesson #328.

I choose the second place to gain the first. The world can sometimes seem like a place of chaos. Everywhere on the news we find sickness, loss, death, heartache. This separation has become society’s go-to. The pervading belief that we accept as true. Lesson 328 says-wait a minute folks. What we believe is truth-the thoughts of anguish and hurt we perceive as ‘first’ in our minds-are really secondary. Being ‘wholly safe, eternally at peace’ is our true destiny. The rest is jus

Who wants to be a Divine Millionaire? ACIM Lesson #327

I need but call and You will answer me. Have you ever watched the show Who wants to be a Millionaire? On the show contestants answer a series of questions which progressively give them an opportunity to win more cash. But with great reward comes great risk. As they progress along, if they answer a single question incorrectly….nada. No cash for you. They can opt out at any time. Taking their cash and going on their merry way. Or continue to answer questions. Risking it all f

You are the Ocean. ACIM Lesson #326.

I am forever an effect of God. Have you ever felt abandoned? Stranded on an island of yourself? I have. These are the days when I feel sorry for myself. Thinking I am alone. Thinking that no one gets me. On those days Lesson 326 comes in handy. It reminds me that I am not said island….I am the ocean. An effect of the greater Divine. And that, when I put a little mojo into it, I can connect with a different reality if I choose to. One where I create and seek out circumstances

Beyond the Illusion Dress. ACIM Lesson #325.

All things I think I see reflect ideas. Does anyone remember the illusion dress? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress ). The illusion dress was a picture of a dress that looked white and gold to some peeps….black and blue to others. Disagreements over the color of the dress sparked lively conversations for months on social media. And led scientists to wonder what was in our big noggins that caused our differing perceptions. Eventually the dress was revealed to be black &

Someone Take the Wheel. ACIM Lesson #324

I merely follow, for I would not lead. I have mentioned. Many times. But it warrants repeating. I am a control-a-holic. I am addicted. My big bad brain loves coming up with crazy scenarios that I try to ensure don’t happen. I stew. I worry. I even try to force people to think like I do sometimes. Lesson 324 reminds me that the Divine has a bigger plan for my life than I could ever create. And when I worry. When I try to control the outcome. When I live in fear rather than l

The Sky is Falling...Not so Much. ACIM Lesson #323

I gladly make the “sacrifice” of fear. Fear is often coined ‘False Evidence Appearing Real’. Some media encourage us to be addicted to fear. War is imminent, famine is everywhere, natural disasters abound. Our brother is our heartless enemy... But if everything is love. If everything is God/Source/Divine-what do we truly have to fear? And do any of these the sky-is-falling predictions track with our true selves? This is not to underplay some very real issues the world has to

A whole new World. ACIM Lesson #322

I can give up but what was never real. Lesson 322 can be one that is difficult to grasp at first. What exactly is the line between real and illusion?...Sounds like my first philosophy class in college. Is the chair really there? But when I probe the depths a little further, this lesson is simply reminding me of the things that are truly important in life. Joy. Love. Inclusion. Kindness. These are the amazing things that life has to offer. Especially when we see past any illu

Bring the Awesome-Juice. ACIM Lesson #321

Father, my freedom is in You alone. I maaaaay have mentioned I am a bit of an, er, ehem, control freak. I love to think I can make all the balls juggle perfectly. I am in CHARGE I say. I can strong-arm my life into synchronous submission. And when life brings me a rogue event I hadn’t planned for-well, I basically tell said life to suck it. In not so many words. I am in control here. And Source’s reply? Nope. Nada. Not even a little. Lesson 321 encourages me to remember that

What is Creation? ACIM Precursor to Lessons #321-330.

There is a popular quote from Marianne Williamson: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. But why? Why are we so afraid that we are limitless? Because we have been indoctrinated to believe we are average. Asked to be humble. Maybe even chastised for playing too big or being too boisterous. But here is the thing, we were not made in our own image. We were made in the image of the Divine. We are big. Beautiful.

Being the field of Infinite Possibilities. ACIM Lesson #320.

My Father gives all power unto me. My inner critic loves a good tirade: You’re just not smart enough. Talented enough. Or capable enough. It’s mantra is -You’re Basic! My higher self-you know, the one holding all of the cards-doesn’t buy into this false paradigm. My higher self understands that every single one of us has been given unlimited power and possibilities. We just need to exercise our Aces. To see the light within. To choose again. Lesson 320 reminds me that the sou

What a Wonderful World...ACIM Lesson #319

I came for the salvation of the world. Truth is a big, juicy concept. It can seem intimidating. Total truth. But the crux of truth is very, very simple. Everything is Divine. The birds. The trees. Even the computer I am using right now to type this. Truth, aka Divine is very, very different from perceptions. My perceptions have a lens. My perceptions have a motive. And my perceptions are colored by the things I ingest both physically and mentally. Lesson 319 reminds me that

The Law of Average-ness. ACIM Lesson #318

In me salvation’s means and end are one. I sure do love to think I’m big stuff. When I began my spiritual journey, I’m embarrassed to admit, I saw this path as a way to make me feel less ordinary. More special in the grand scheme of things. Let me preface this by saying I have lived a life of averages. In college-average grades ( C for continue!). First job-average evaluations. Even accolades-average praise. At a certain point I was ready to live a life less ordinary. Lesson

What is YOUR Soul's Contract? ACIM Lesson #317

I follow in the way appointed to me. When I was 24, I realized I hated my job. I had just graduated from college. Six years of grueling work I was not naturally gifted doing. I went to work every day disgruntled and exhausted. I was enjoying getting a paycheck. But I certainly wasn’t loving what I did. It took me almost 15 MORE years to figure out that I could choose again. That I was not married to a career that left me empty. And that I was not alone. There are so many
